Two parallel arrays A, B . For each element n of A for which
f(An) is true,
is g(B[n-3:n+3]) true? Where B[n-3:n+3] refers to seven
elements of B whose
position is centered over An’ position.Can the block inside Enumerable#collect know it’s position inside the
Enumerable? Can one collect two parallel arrays?
#collect_with_index doesn’t exist natively (but should)
#zip will merge the arrays, and then you can map the results.

a = []
each_with_index { |x, i|
a << yield( x, i )

def sum

end
def f( n )
n % 2 == 0

a = (1…10).to_a
b = (10…20).to_a
pairs = a.zip( b )

a_val = pair[ 0 ]
